You cannot pour from an empty pot. Allowing yourself time to be mindful and recharge is not selfish, it is vital for our resilience. Rest well, my friends, we go again tomorrow. 😊

I spoke with three Californians — U.S. citizens —who described the abuse and mistreatment they endured after being wrongfully detained by ICE.

Here are their stories.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed with fear or anxiety in these chaotic times. This is understandable. However, if we allow it to dominate our every moment, we will miss our appointment with life. Allow yourself time to pause, return to your breathing, and recall the good that still exists. 😊

Utterly shocked & heartbroken this morning by the news of Rob and Michele Reiner’s deaths.

Rob left an indelible mark on Hollywood—creating some of the most beloved characters, shows, and films of all time. And with his wife Michele, they championed democracy, humanity, and a better world for all.

It was never about stopping illegal immigration. It was about stopping ALL immigration. Period. And that’s what they’ve done. Despicable.👇

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:

✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history

I feel like Indiana abandoning Trump is a tipping point. And it’s not because they didn’t want a new map. It’s because he shook them down.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

The administration can try to justify the continuing military escalation in the Caribbean and repeated illegal strikes with any excuse they want.

But as I told @elexmichaelson.bsky.social, Americans know what it's really about: regime change.

And they want no part of another war.

US House rejected the impeachment of Trump in a 237-140 vote.

23 House Democrats voted to block the measure by voting "No", and 47 others voted "present", they excused themselves by claiming there is no "investigative process" and their priority is "affordability."

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

The victims of the "double-tap" boat strike aren't known to have been carrying drugs, and even if they were, it would have been less than 1% of the 400 tons brought to the U.S. by the man Trump pardoned. Also, they weren't even coming to the U.S. The Trump admin just wanted to kill them.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Please take all threats seriously and report to police immediately. There was a guy at my apartment complex two days ago creating problems with my neighbor. I heard him say he wanted to kill someone. Today I just learned he tried to murder someone in a hate crime. Take all threats seriously.

If it was about crime, Trump wouldn't be going after people who commit fewer crimes, ICE would be obeying the law, and Trump wouldn't be committing illegal extrajudicial executions on people in boats posing no threat.
